Report: Aston villa are set to displaced Tottenham for Brighton’s Versatile Full-Back after declearing he want to play champion league football…
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly making moves to secure Brighton & Hove Albion’s versatile full-back Tariq Lamptey in the upcoming January transfer window, according to Team Talk. Ange Postecoglou’s side is aiming to bolster its defensive options, with Lamptey’s ability to play across both flanks being a key factor in their interest.
With Lamptey’s contract set to expire next summer, Brighton may be willing to cash in on the 24-year-old rather than risk losing him for free at the end of the season. This scenario has seen Tottenham joined by West Ham and Everton in expressing interest in the former Chelsea prospect. Since leaving Stamford Bridge in 2020, Lamptey has made over 100 appearances for Brighton, cementing himself as one of the most flexible defenders in the league.
Postecoglou’s Search for Versatility
Ange Postecoglou’s tactical philosophy heavily relies on adaptable players, and Lamptey perfectly fits that mould. His ability to operate primarily as a right-back or right wing-back, while also covering the left-back position, makes him an attractive prospect.
